Bit disappointing

I bought this online in the colour St Lucia, I had heard good thing about one of the shade, but since this was the only colour available I thought I would try. Sadly I was quite disappointed, the blush looks a nice colour, but doesn't have good pigmentation at all and hardly shows on the skin. The bronzed is ok and I do use this in moderation regularly, but to dark for me to use as a contour shade. I really would try the other shades, because for that price, as I have heard that they have some nice blush colours.

Tips: The bronzer is quite dark and I small but on a brush goes along way, so be careful how much u put on your brush.

Powdery, pigmented Nars dupe?

I picked up the e.l.f contouring blush and bronzing powder on an after work trip to Kmart. I knew I could get it for $3 on iHerb, but I had a sudden desire to compare it to the Nars blush in Orgasm and Nars Laguna bronzer.

In the pan, both the packaging and shades are very similar to the Nars products. The sleek and sturdy black packaging really is identical, aside from the logo and I did find myself questioning the price tag I had paid for Nars. The shades too, were very similar. However, once I dipped my brush in I saw a significant different in pigmentation. To some, this may be an attribute to the product, as pigmentation equals a small amount of product going a long way. When it comes to blush and bronzer I personally prefer a medium amount of pigmentation as this allows a natural, blendable and buildable application. The pigmentation that comes from the e.l.f blush and bronzer could very easily result in too much product on the face, patchiness and a massive blending job. Too use this product on my face I found myself lightly dipping my brush in the product and then wiping it on a tissue before applying to my face. On the skin the shades do loose their similarity to their higher end 'dupes' as they appear a lot darker and the gold shimmery flecks do not transfer to the skin in the blush. Perhaps it is because my skin is pale, or perhaps it is because I have been previously using the Nars blush and bronzer, but the e.l.f alternative looks cheap and patchy on my face.

I have however continued to use the bronzer. The high pigmentation is perfect for when I haven't fake tanned my neck and I need to bronze it to match my foundation. It is quick, easy and provides a beautiful colour.

Even when using it this way the powderyness is still an issue with this product. A lot of powder is always left in the pan and as a duo this means the products spill into each other. For $3-$10 this product is a good option for those who cannot afford to spend more, however I will continue to reach for Nars, ZA and Revlon blush and bronzers over this product.

Tips: This bronzer is great for applying to the neck and body.

Hit and miss

The e.l.f contouring blush and bronzer I purchased was in the colour 'St Lucia'.

So this little duo comes in a relatively sturdy case which I'm really happy about. With cheap products the first thing you tend to notice quality wise is rubbish packaging - this compact is an exception.

The pink is a nice warm colour with a gold undertone. It makes the cheeks look nice and naturally flushed. The colour pay off can be a little light and it takes a few brushes to make it nice and pigmented. It seems to stay on well all day with very little colour fade. The brown contouring shade is great - it has no orangey tones to it like some contouring shades and it looks really natural on the face. Like the pink it also has a gold shimmer to it (which I personally don't like in the powders I use for contouring). Unlike the pink it is much more pigmented and you need to be a little careful when applying. It pays to really tap the brush before putting it on your face.

As for the 'hit and miss' title, I have bought two of these now and the second one was TERRIBLE! The quality was not even comparable to the first one I purchased. It was dry and my brush couldn't pick up any of the product. I'm not sure why there was such a difference in the consistency but it was pretty disappointing.

St Lucia

So the main reason I brought this was because everyone kept comparing it to the Nars product, so I thought I'd try it. I got my one from makeup.co.nz for $11 i think, so I'm so stoked with the price! The packaging is e.l.f's typical matte balck packaging, which is really sturdy, so that's a plus. Normally the cheaper products have crappy packaging. The bronzer - it looked quite dark when i first saw it, but it actually suits my skin tone pretty good. it has some shimmer in it as well, but nothing too crazy. Just enough I'd say. Go very easy at first and then build up the colour as i find the bronzer a little bit difficult to blend. Nothing major, but always always easier if you build the colour. Not much fall out, which is great. I'm a clean freak, so I hate getting powder eveyrwhere lol. The blush - gorgeous pink colour with a gold shimmer. You definitely have to build this blush, but it looks amazing on my skin tone once I get my desired colour. Overall - pretty good product at an affordable price. I can't complain. I'll try the Nars product one day, but for now, I'm happy with my e.l.f compact :)

e.l.f Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

Purchased this kit off iherb for around $3.00. The packaging is nice and does't look cheap and it has a mirror. The blush shade is a pretty pink however when I applied it it was very powdery. The bronzer is terrible despite only applying a small amount on my brush and lots of blending it still managed to look like a muddy mess on my face. I would not recommend. For $3.00 you get what you pay for.

Only works if you like shimmer

I find this pretty good and I dont think the bronzer is too shimmery unlike others it works really well for me and blends really well I contour using this product but only on my cheekbones as I find that if I use it on my nose its too dark. As for the blush I really love it, it reminds me of the sleek blush in rose gold.

Overall I really do like this product however it does have shimmer so be careful.

Great Value

I am absolutely in love with the affordability and quality of ELF products and this is no exception.

Firstly, I really love the idea of having a blusher and bronzer in the same compact. This makes it really convenient to transport and apply throughout the day. I also think that for $3.00 the packaging is above and beyond what I would expect. It is definitely not cheap or tacky and is super durable, really well designed and sturdy.

The product itself is also excellent quality. The bronzer is the perfect shade for contouring, not orange at all and has the slightest shimmer but is still very matte. It is very easily applied so be careful you don't have too much on your brush. It's better to start off with a little and build up with this product. The results are wonderful, a natural looking contour which lasts all day.

The blush is also excellent quality. Great pigmentation with a touch of shimmer. This one needs building a bit more than the bronzer. Paired with the bronzer it makes a for a beautiful sun kissed look.

I would definitely repurchase this product and I seriously suggest that anyone who is looking for a nice natural bronzed/blushed look pick one up! Easily one of my all time favourites.

Almost too pigmented!

If you are looking for a highly pigmented long lasting blush/bronze duo and don't mind sparkles this is for you. I have had this in the shade 'turks and caicos' a wonderful peachy rose blush and a super dark almost cocoa bronzer would be fab for tanner/darker skintones than myself as it is sooo pigmented on my fair skin I had to give it away - I am also not a fan of the gold glittery sparkles throughout the product.

Tips: Very good product for the price, just not for me as I am so fair and this is quite dark (the bronzer just unusable on me only useable as a chocolate toned eyeshadow on my complexion) and I don't like sparkles in my blush/bronzer.

Impressed!

I bought this on line when purchasing some brushes from iHerb and thought I would try it out. Well, this really is value for money. There are expensive blushers in a very similar case, however this really doe s work. It is easy to apply with a good blusher brush followed by a soft blender brush. Then swoop around to contour with the bronzer for a perfect effect. Mine lasts all day from 7 a.m. till I get home. A quick top up is perfect for evening glow. It is easy to clean off and my skin is clear and ready for night time moisturiser. I've never bought such a cheap product that has such good results!

Tips: Good stocking fillers for girl friends!
